I have had a stove shop out a few years ago, and a chimney professional recently. They each gave me the advice that I should run a steel liner up the length of the chimney.
I was quoted $1,200.
Today while reading the Jotul F3 user manual I saw this diagram and description of a fireplace installation, which contradicts the advice given by each of the businesses.
What's right?
